I love tiny food! So I went looking for something I could do with a can of tuna fish and some seedless English cucumbers! And you know the first place I looked? You guessed it...Pinterest!
always ready when I need it for a recipe! You just add any kind of milk to moisten the mix and it's ready to go!  |
| INGREDIENTS: 1 shot Galliano liquor 1 shot Amaretto liquor 1/2 shot Maraschino jarred cherry juice 1/2 shot sparkling water 1 Maraschino cherry - garnish 1 cup crushed ice DIRECTIONS: Put crushed ice in a cocktail shaker. Add Galliano, Amaretto, cherry juice and sparkling water. Shake, shake, shake and pour into martini glass or other stemware. Throw in a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately! |
toast sprinkled with shredded mozzarella cheese topped with chopped fresh basil, sliced plum tomatoes, minced fresh garlic and a pinch of salt. Then I put it in the toaster oven to melt the cheese and it was done. A very light but VERY flavorful fresh tasting open face sandwich!
It worked out pretty well! The mac & cheese was creamy but a little gritty. When it was done cooking it was soupy, but as it cooled it thickened up a bit. The flavor was perfect. It was slightly tricky to cook because the water kept bubbling over the mug, so I needed to keep turning off the microwave and stirring the macaroni. After reading all the reviews I decided to use a 'quick cook' pasta, which worked perfectly! Still bubbled over but at least the macaroni wasn't undercooked or pasty!
This month as part of my participation as a brand ambassador for Allrecipes.com I was asked to join their Italy site. I gladly agreed! One of my assignments for this month was to make, rate, review and photograph
I served the vinaigrette with a mozzarella/tomato salad. Check out those recipe. I think you'll like them! 
Small baked meatballs in a thick sweet and savory sauce! Perfect as an appetizer or snack! Very easy to make with simple ingredients! I've made these many times! My guests loved them!
When I saw these cute Reindeer Pops on the Internet I said, "I can do that!" And they were staring back at me saying, "Yes, you can do it!" How could I resist?  |
| Chinese New Year Candy INGREDIENTS: 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup crushed chow mein noodles 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or peanuts 1/4 cup coconut flakes or grated coconut DIRECTIONS: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt chocolate according to package directions. I use the microwave method. In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate with the crushed chow mein noodles and the nuts. Mix until well coated. Drop by the tablespoonful onto the lined cookie sheet. You should get 15 pieces of candy from this recipe. Dust the tops with the coconut flakes. Allow the candy to firm up before placing on a serving platter. Recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com This post belongs to My Recipe Journey food blog. |

Then I stumbled onto a unique way to serve the hot pepper jelly by adding them to these savory, cheesy, thumbprint cookies! The cookies are very tasty all by themselves. They remind me of big, soft, 'Cheez-It' crackers. So adding the hot pepper jelly just made it twice as tasty! The thumbprint cookies are so very easy to make! They're just 3 ingredients...sharp cheddar cheese, butter and flour. And they bake up in less than 20 minutes. This makes a great little appetizer!
Easy crockpot recipes just make life so much simpler! And I love these crockpot liners because they make crockpot cooking twice as easy! I know it says 'SlowCooker' on the box, but it's all the same to me. I never use my crockpot/slowcooker without them. If you can't find them in your local food store ask the store to order them. King Kullen grocery stores and Ace Hardware stores sell them. I always buy them from Ace in large quantities!
